Alex Morgan is well aware that tomorrow’s clash with England will be a “tough challenge” for the United States given the mistakes they made in their 2-2 draw with Japan.
The US were left disappointed with the way they played, something England coach Phil Neville echoed to his players at half-time of their 2-1 win over Brazil, and Morgan knows the organisation of the Lionesses will cause her side problems.
“Having this disappointing tie right now, all eyes are on England,” Morgan said. “They’re a good team defensively, they’re very organised, so it will be a tough challenge for us.”
